Hi everyone. Couldn't find anyone who have done it yet so in order to do it I need your help guys. I'm, as some of you guys might be, sick and tired of our OEM HID's projector color that's comparing to any other brand is just yellow although they're xenons. So I'm gonna go with swapping lenses from different projectors.
This is where I find it kinda hard for me: the OEM projector lens has, to be exact, the diameter of 2,94" and most of the bmw's, merc's ect has 3" diameter. My question is are there any lenses out there to be a direct repleacement for our projectors that would give us the bright output?

Thank You

 

you need to change bulbs not projectors

and you did not search hard enough

you can try www.hidplanet.com I see some people test is250 projector with sti-r lens it turn out nice too.

 

Search for member "JVX", as he is king of this realm.

Good luck with the ISx50 projectors as they are at the bottom of the barrel as far as output/color is concerned.

 

JVX tested and showed improvements using sti-r lens with rx330 reflector bowls. yeah the IS projectors is not very good... anyone local can help me do the lens swap :]?

 

your not alone on the 2IS, the 3GS has the same sucky *** projectors

 

JVX is local and a good friend of mine. You want me to have him contact you?

id be interested too

 

so what did u do...and how did it turn out...Im thinking of doing a lense swap also...what kind or where can I get some better lenses at?

 

An old post; didn't even know someone was mentioning about me, lol. Didn't even know Jimmy was on this forum, cool.

Anyway, check out the links within the link below for some details on the 2IS lens swap.

 

JVX: I was just looking at your build thread and also your knowledge base. That is very impressive!!

 

Thanks for the comments. My next project would be the S2K-R projector, a replica of the infamous S2000 projector. It was rumored to be even better than the oem S2K AP1 projector. Until I personally test it myself, I'm not going to say much.

 

will the ls460/430 projector fit in the stock fog light housung....

 

JVX- im looking forward to the S2K-R review.

I most likely will redo my retro with these
